Maryland Tax-Free Week begins Sunday

BALTIMORE —Officials are encouraging shoppers to take advantage of Maryland’s tax-free week.

Tax-Free Week begins Sunday, Aug. 9, and runs through Saturday, Aug. 15. During that time, any single qualifying article of clothing or footwear priced $100 or less, regardless of how many are purchased, will be exempt from the state’s 6 percent sales tax.

"Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week is a great opportunity to get deals on back-to-school clothes or to refresh a tired wardrobe," Comptroller Peter Franchot said. "During these tough economic times, having a break from the 6 percent sales tax on shoes and clothing can make a real difference for families, enabling them to save more of their hard-earned money. Retailers also benefit with a boost in revenue. The savings can really add up for families, putting more money in their pockets."
